“No stated position found” means we found no position on that issue that passed our checks on the candidate’s own campaign website, not that they have none. We never fill the gap. Why a position can be missed

No stated position found.
Ralph Groves
❖ Uphold beneficial programs that Americans have already paid for and are still paying for. In Washington, Ralph Groves will uphold Social Security and Medicare, and will call for reduction of Federal taxes to stimulate the economy. Such stimulus will boost revenues for Social Security and Medicare while helping to reduce the Federal deficit. Lower Federal taxes will increase peoples’ spending power that will stimulate competition and eventually reduce prices. Lower taxes, as well as decreased regulation, will spur job growth and economic development in Florida. In addition, for the proximate future, the U.S. will depend on fossil fuels.

Ralph Groves
❖ Pro-legal immigration. Ralph Groves’ mother was an immigrant. He believes legal, regulated immigration boosts our economy and bolsters our population, which otherwise would be in decline. Contrariwise, illegal and unregulated migration stresses our communities, hospitals, and schools. He believes in simplified, reasonable immigration processes to enhance legal, regulated immigration.

Ralph Groves
Abortion policy1 quote from Ralph Groves
❖ Pro-life. Ralph Groves believes in encouraging a culture of life to protect babies and eliminate human trafficking, especially sexual exploitation. A culture of life should encourage women to keep and nurture their babies with help from private and Church-related pro-life agencies. Such agencies that help pregnant women and mothers of newborns should be protected. In extreme cases, abortion should be decided by women and their doctors, not government. Government exclusion from abortion means no government funding for Planned Parenthood. For the safety of women, rare abortions should be done in hospitals, not in outside clinics.

School choice and vouchers1 quote from Ralph Groves
❖ Ralph Groves applauds the abolition of the Federal Department of Education. Each state, including Florida, should manage education without Federal Government regulations. In addition, a broad range of options should be available to parents, including a voucher system and homeschooling.

Crime policy, policing and courts1 quote from Ralph Groves
As a Congressman, Ralph Groves will work with Florida State Legislators to ensure that Washington will assist Florida. For example, he will ensure that the Environmental Protection Agency provides Florida with more grants for safe drinking water, e.g. to eliminate lead in water. In addition, he will ensure that Coast Guard funding is increased to enable response to hurricanes in Florida and will support keeping the Florida National Guard at home to help Floridians during crises. Further, he will push for the abolishment of the War on Drugs due to its failure to reduce illicit drug usage and its inherent disproportionate punishment of minority people.
